Daily Devotional for Today:
Explanation of the Daisy & Bee Scriptures . . .
"For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart" (Hebrews 4:12).
Anyone who knows me, knows I LOVE the Word of God. With my Daisy & Bee Scriptures, I have attempted to encourage you to read it with me.

In 2014, when my son was at college, the Lord and I spent time together pulling the highlights of each book of the Bible, with the intention of reading through the Bible in a year. At the same time, however, I started taking medicine for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia, a very painful situation. (I had been diagnosed with it in 2013.)
Between, the medicine and the pain, I could no longer continue with the project. It stopped seven books in, and ended in the beginning of February.
In 2015, I had a migraine almost everyday. In 2016, I was able to come off the medicine and begin my journey to healing. In 2017, I had many great experiences sharing the love of Jesus through writing and speaking. I would have approx. nine migraines each month. As I prayed and continued to trust God for my complete healing, He brought Dr. Sonja O'Bryan into my life. In the month of December, in 2017, I began taking her prescribed Mag Glycinate and B Complex. For the first time in many years, I went through one full month without ANY migraines!
Why do I tell you all this?
To encourage you!
All the while, I was struggling, God was faithful. And His Word, the living Word, sustained me. He gave me joy in the midst of my struggle, peace in my time of difficulty, and strength, I could not muster up on my own. I felt His love and His presence. And through it all, He was enough!
I'm excited to tell you, the Lord and I are continuing with this project—hopefully thru the entire Bible, and thru till the end of the year. So please, continue reading the Daisy & Bee Scriptures with me and be encouraged by the Word of God; He is faithful and will help you in your time of need.
